Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2024;37(5):571-576
Objective To study the effects of attenuated Salmonella(Ty21a-pIRES-IL-2-NK4,TPIN)carrying interleukin-2(IL-2)/4-kringle antagonist of hepatocyte growth factor(NK4)double gene on humoral and cellular immune function.Methods Eighteen BALB/c mice,half male and half female,were randomly divided into control group(1. 5 mL 10%NaHCO3 by gastric tube feeding),Ty21a group(0. 1 mL Ty21a by gastric tube feeding)and TPIN group(0. 1 mL TPIN by gastric tube feeding),with 6 mice in each group. The immunization was boosted twice 7 d after the initial immunization. At 21d after administration,the blood samples were collected from eyeballs and the serum was separated,which was detected for the serum IgG antibody level by ELISA. The thymus and spleen of mice were isolated aseptically,and the spleen cells were stimulated by Ty21a and TPIN respectively in vitro. After 72 h,the proliferation ability of spleen cells was measured by CCK-8 assay,and the expression level of cytokines in spleen cells was detected by ELISA. The spleen and thymus were weighed,the spleen and thymus indexes were analyzed,and HE staining was performed.Results Compared with the control group and Ty21a group,the serum IgG level(F = 111. 74,P < 0. 01)and the contents of IFNγ,IL-4 and IL-10 in spleen cell supernatant(F = 38. 21,11. 37 and 26. 92,respectively,each P < 0. 05)increased significantly,as well as the spleen and thymus indexes(F = 10. 419 and 5. 859,respectively,each P < 0. 05)showed significant increase. In mice of Ty21a and TPIN group,the thymus cortex widened,lymphocytes increased,and there was mild inflammatory reaction;the white pulp and lymphocytes in spleen increased with neutrophil infiltration.Conclusion TPIN has a good immune protective effect,and can significantly stimulate the body to produce humoral immunity and cellular immunity,which may have a good therapeutic effect on tumors.

Chinese Journal of Organ Transplantation 2000;21(4):213-215
Objective To study the changes of ICAM-1 expression in transplanted lung at the early stage after rat pulmonary transplantation.Methods The expression level of ICAM-1 protein and its mRNA in rat transplanted lung after 4 h of ventilation and reperfussion were detected by using immunohisto chemical method(SABC method)and semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase reaction method in the experimental group(n=6).When donor lungs had been flushed with low potassium solution(LPDS) and preserved in 4.C LPDS for 12 h,left orthotopic pulmonary transplantation was performed.In control group (n=6), left pulmonary artery,pulmonary vein and bronchi were fully freed to be naked.Immunohistochemical test results were recorded in negative(-),suspicion(±),faint positive(+),positive(++)and intensive positive(+++).PCR products were separated by agrose gels and the density of the bands were determined by density scanning.Results The stained color of alveolar epithelial cells and pulmonary vascular endothdial cells in the transplanted lung was significantly more intensive in experimental group than in control group(P<0.01) and the relative density values(ICAM-1/βactin)were also significandy higher in experimental group(0.837±0.044) than in control group (0.442±0.037),P<0.01. Conclusions ICAM-1 expression in the transplanted lung was up-regulated in the early stage after pulmonary transplantation,which was related with the enhancement of ICAM-1 mRNA.

Objective To explore the role of bright vessel sign (BVS) on raw three dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D ASL) image in evaluating occlusion of intracranial artery. Methods One hundred and twenty-two patients who were highly suspected of acute cerebral infarction were enrolled and analyzed. All patients were performed magnetic resonance scan with diffusion weighted image (DWI), 3D ASL and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) sequences within 24 hours after admission. The presence or absence of restricted lesion on DWI, BVS and occlusion of intracrainal artery on MRA was reviewed. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of BVS and consistency of BVS and MRA in assessing occlusion of intracranial artery were assessed. Results The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of BVS in assessing occlusion of intracranial artery were 83%, 99%, 95% and 96%, respectively.And the presence or absence of BVS on ASL was highly consistent with MRA in assessing occlusion of intracranial artery (κ=0.86, P<0.01). Conclusion BVS has a good sensitivity and high specificity in identifying occlusion of intracranial artery, and it is highly consistent with MRA.

Objective To investigate the dynamic expression of Nogo-A receptor (NgR) in the hippocampus following focal cerebral ischemia in rats.Methods The focal cerebral ischemia model was established by electrocoagulating the right middle cerebral artery in rats.The expression of NgR in the ischemic hippocampal CA1,CA2 and CA3 regions at different time points after cerebral ischemia were detected by immunohistochemical staining.Results The expressions of NgR were up-regulated in hippocampal CA1 and CA2 regions at the first day,in the CA3 region at the second day after cerebral ischemia; the expressions of NgR in the CA1 and CA2 regions at the fifth day was decreased to the lowest.The expressions of NgR was up-regulated again in the CA1 and CA2 regions at the 28th day.Conclusions The NgR expression in the hippocampus in ischemic side showed different change characteristics at different regions,however,the overall change trend showed a 2 peaks and a valley phenomenon,which indicated that NgR might have different functions at different time periods after cerebral ischemia.

ObjectiveTo explore the influence of narcissism of mothers of middle school students on maternal consciousness and their rearing patterns,and to provide theoretical support for family education.Methods361 pairs middle school students and their mothers were sampled randomly and tested by middle school students' mother maternal consciousness scale and the narcissistic personality Inventory for the mothers,and the mother's subscale of EMBU for the students respectively.The data were analyzed by ANOVA,product-moment correlation and path analysis.Results 1 ) Overt narcissism had significant differences among different levels of income(F=6.501,P<0.001 ); 2)overt narcissism was correlated positively with emotional warmth and understanding of mother and mother' s over-interference,over-protection ( r =0.121,0.126,P < 0.05 ) ; covert narcissism was correlated negatively with maternal consciousness and emotional warmth and understanding of mother,and positively with over-protection,refusal and deny,and severe punishment; 3 )narcissism of mothers not only would influence their rearing patterns through maternal consciousness indirectly( β=0.319,P=0.000),but would influence that directly ( covert narcissism:β =0.281,P =0.000 ; overt narcissism:β =- 0.278,P =0.000) ; and overt narcissism had positive effect,while covert narcissism had negative effect.ConclusionNarcissism of mothers of middle school students influences maternal consciousness and rearing patterns,and effect of overt narcissism is positive,and that of covert narcissism is negative.So it is important to perfect mother's character for ameliorating their rearing pattern.

Objective To study the diagnostic and monitoring values of the loss of heteroxygosity(LOH) of 3p loci in free plasma DNA of small cell lung cancer. Methods PCR silver staining was used for the detection of LOH of three microsatellite sites in the 3p loci of plasma free DNA and tissue of SCLC. Results In 33 cases of tissue, the incidence rate of LOH was 54.5%(18/33), but the positive rate of LOH in plasma free DNA was 42.4%(14/33). The correlation between them was 78.8%(14/18). Conclusion The plasma free DNA in patients with lung cancer is primarily originated from the tumor tissue. LOH of plasma free DNA may be valuable molecular markers in the diagnosis of SCLC.

Objective To study the diagnostic value of LOH and MSI of free DNA 3p microsatellite point in plasma of lung cancer patients. Methods Using PCR and sliver dye techniques, LOH and MSI of three microsatellite sites of plasma DNA on chromosome 3p in resected fresh tissue from 37 patients and whole blood sample from 94 patients were detected. Results The plasma free DNA concentration of most lung cancer patients was above microgramme level. Above 70% of tissues and plasma were positive. No significant difference was found at different stages and in different pathologic types. The result of patients with lymph node metastasis was significantly different from that of the patients without lymph node metastasis. Conclusion Plasma DNA of lung cancer patients is a good medium for gene diagnosis and may be used widely in the future.
